COST FOR THE DRIVER EDUCATION COURSE

$600 check payable to NRHS to Mrs. LaBranche.

The check will reserve a seat in the class if the class is not already full. Students are enrolled on a first pay basis

No driver education certification letters will be sent to the Registry until all classroom and student driving hours are completed

All fees must be paid in full for student certification

The parents class attendance must be completed for student certification

Driving Instructors: Students may request a specific instructor when enrolling in the first class. Otherwise students will be assigned to an instructor based on home town and instructor's student load. Any request to change instructor must be made to Dave Potts. Summer and weekend, communication with instructors should be done by e-mail.

Students can access the RMV's website to inquire if a driver's education certificate has been issued and applied to a student record. There is no fee associated with this transaction and the RMV asks that all driving schools and students use this on-line service in lieu of calling the telephone center.

You will be required to provide your students license number, first and last name, and date of birth. If a certificate has been issued you will be informed of the date that the certificate has been issued and the student will be advised to call the RMV’s Telephone Center to book a road test (800-858-3926) or their driving school if the school will be sponsoring the student for their road test. If a certificate has not been issued, you will be notified that a Driver's Ed Certificate was not found on our system, and the student will be advised to contact his/her driving school.
